Yeah, XP did that with most of the drivers other than graphics, which lead to a reduction in BSOD crashes (because if a user thread crashes, the OS just kills it and continues on, but an unhandled kernel error will crash the entire OS to a generic "turn the screen blue, report and error, and log it, if possible").

Vista further improved this by moving most of the graphics driver code out of kernel land.
